People who lack social skills in BJJ

There is a huge divide between the old guard that remembers BJJ being the entry point for vale tudo, and the modern day sport BJJ guys who have no interest in that. I think it's only going to get bigger as time goes on. The other day in the gym I heard a young purple belt say BJJ should start with both people in seated guard (to avoid "wasting time" on takedowns, and to put an impetus on the person who comes up to pass), and an old school black belt (whose prized possession is a signed Mario Sperry Vale Tudo instructional set) nearly had an aneurysm.

mhm i enjoy sport jiu jitsu but it really has got out of control funny how people use to bitch about butterfly and spider guard lol yet now hipsters dont even have the athleticism to work passing but thats fine in ibjjf tournaments they can lost on points all day make sure to get that takedown and work passing
